    Snippet: B acterial pneumonia (BP) is an acquired inflammation of the lower airways and lung parenchyma secondary to bacterial infection. 1 Because BP is difficult to induce experimentally in healthy animals, the pathogenesis is considered complex and involves several underlying mechanisms. 2 Possible predisposing factors for the development of BP, such as diseases leading to aspiration, decreased ciliary function, or immunodeficiency, have been described.....
    Document: B acterial pneumonia (BP) is an acquired inflammation of the lower airways and lung parenchyma secondary to bacterial infection. 1 Because BP is difficult to induce experimentally in healthy animals, the pathogenesis is considered complex and involves several underlying mechanisms. 2 Possible predisposing factors for the development of BP, such as diseases leading to aspiration, decreased ciliary function, or immunodeficiency, have been described in Dogs. 3 However, the role of canine respiratory viruses in the development of BP and the possible connection between canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) and BP have not yet been fully evaluated.
